I didn&#39;t mean anything derogatory about the team or Bobby when I said that. It was just an issue that&#39;s been played out so publicly. I thought I was consistent in what I said all day yesterday but I need to be more careful.&quot;allanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-84171552629390062112012-02-28T09:08:25.244-05:002012-02-28T09:08:25.244-05:00Joe Girardi, who banned ice cream from the Yankees...Joe Girardi, who banned ice cream from the Yankees clubhouse, supports Valentine:<br /><br />&quot;You have to be careful in this day and age. You don’t want people drinking and driving. You don’t mind a guy having a beer, but when you are home you are going to get in a car and drive home. I think it’s a pretty good policy.&quot;<br /><br />***<br /><br />If that is the case, shouldn&#39;t they ban beer from all ballparks? It&#39;s much more likely a fan will have too many and drive home drunk than a player.allanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-80906591537640510522012-02-27T17:19:01.323-05:002012-02-27T17:19:01.323-05:00Catus to announce retirement Thursday.
